Five completely destroyed large bank barn on the I•lau Lome farm, VA miles east Brucefleld on Sunday sho+r`tly tore 6 p.m.More than one +thousand h were 'burned and 255 pigs, A a new corn placer 'head and se chili, besides a manure spn'ea and a quantity of thicken eqt nlent stored in the barn.. Loss is estimated by F Chief Week Stott of Seaforth over $30,000, Piro brigades fro Seaforbll, Brimfield and Clint fought the fire to keep it fro spending to neeob bulldin With. the aid of a gentle eo east breeze, which helped the :heat and;siderite away, other buildings were burned. chicken house and large imp meat shed were ,oiose to burning barn. The House, bio, east of the barn was not in danger. Allan Haugh had been at the been foe about an hour tending a sick pig, when +lie noticed the hens become Tombless, and was going to look to eee if a oat or bird had got i1i"the pen, when his blather Neil Raine out of the house and ,called that the been was on Bre. A small patch of flame was showing, on the out- side of the. barn about a foot away from the conduit where the electric wires entered the barn. Allan ran fol' a pail of water while his mother phoned in the alarm. From a small start the fire qudcltry ran through the straw and spread throughout the building. The pigs were driven out .of their vans 'anti the barn doorth hooked to keep them out. In -e excitement one of the sows suoceecled in opening the loos' and taking most of the pigs back into the barn again. Of approxi- mately 300 pigs, today there re- main only 4 young pigs, one cow ands even little .pigs, 255 pigs were burned in the are. 63 oth ers, about 125 pounds, suffered burn but were alive on Monday and •shipped to a packing Zhou at Kitchener for salvage. Also lost in the fire was t oason's -crop.. of 300 bales o AS' hay, 2500 bales of straw ani 1800 bushels of mixed grain. A small quantity of grain was sal vaged. There had been same lightning during the afternoon and it Is nob known whether the fire started then. The family 'recall that lightning had ;Mown fuses and damaged appliances. do the house a few weeks ago and it is considered possible that - " aon- discovered \airing damage had resulted at that time. This is the second electrical fire In about three years sabered by the Haugh family, as a num- ber of pigs were lost in a fire on their dorm across the mead the same night as the Ball -Macaulay fire in Seaforth. The barn was one of the larg- est in the ;district, being 80x66 feet. It was built in :the time of Charles Mason, an early owner of $he property. For the past five years the Haugh brothers have been devoting muoh of their spare time to remodelling the barn foes raising pigs and hens and had just about completed the ,, project, having fitted it up with automatic waterers and other oonvendeeces. They' had next planned to start reimode114ng the barn ,on their farm on the south side of the road, "Now we don't know where to start," Allan Haugh said on Tuesday, They definitely intend to rebuild, either ..this fall or next year, but. it won't be a bank barn. It wile be. suitable for Poultry and pigs, as the Houghs have no cattle oe horses. They have been specializing in Kimber white leghoa•ns. A15o missing since the fire is a Iarge yellow tom oat. ' We don't know whether he got mad and 'left fora few days, or whether he was trapped In the. fire, " Allan +said, expect to rebuild the barn, abar least not this ye. T•he farm has been in :the 0'.

THE PEARS WERE GREENv A lone pearl. tree in the yard P behind the Haugh home at Bruce - field is mute evidence of the fire Ja Sunday night. The tree was not damaged in the least by the se fire. There is not a leaf singed. If .the tree Ieans slightly to the east, that was not caused by the fire, but probably by prevailing winds since it was a sapling. This is what happened to the tree: It was picked Olean of pears es high up as idle spectators who crowded .the yard could reach, The pears were still green and not ready for eating. But they •,yI looked luscious and large and so 13 were picked and thrown away so .after a tidal bite.
